When Professor Dominic Hallkyn receives an anonymous phone call late one night from a voice claiming to possess a priceless Chaucerian manuscript presumed lost forever, he doesn’t know how to react.Such a find could irrevocably alter the history of literature, as well as his career, and yet, he can’t know if the caller is legitimate or merely a student playing a prank. Hallkyn soon finds himself in a scramble to meet the caller’s demands, culminating in uncompromising suspense and a devilish plot twist. Perry takes his readers on a mad dash through the twisting streets of Boston in a struggle for this unique historic artifact that may be doomed to disappear from history…this time for good.
Luckily, the professor has rich friends and is able to pull together the money to buy it for later donation to a library. Things go awry, however, as they always do in a mystery and a huge dream.
